Chocolate fridge cake is a delicious and easy no bake overnight chocolate cake that you'll be delighted to find in your fridge in the morning!
Folks this chocolate fridge cake is so easy to make!
It just needs a little bit of time in the evening before (but only 30 minutes) to put it together.
Then just stick it in the fridge overnight. Or wait at least 2 hours until the chocolate has set.
What a great sight in your fridge morning. A really tasty chocolate cake treat that just requires slicing and serving!
Chocolate fridge cake is such a great recipe. One that you can easily put together and use a mixture of whatever you have to hand.
It’s not a real cake in that it uses eggs and flour then is baked, no. It’s a no bake creation made up of a little melted chocolate, crushed biscuits and dried fruits.
All it needs is time to firm up in the fridge.
I made this chocolate fridge cake for taking to work to share with colleagues, as I normally do with my cakes.
It removes any temptation I might have to eat more than one of the slices!
Why not bake and do this too? There's nothing like someone telling you this is their favourite cake you've baked so far, thank you Allison!
This is a really easy cake for children to do. Keep it in the fridge to keep it fresh and prevent it from melting.
Although depending on where you live (I live in Scotland) and with the temperature (like Scotland) it might not actually get a chance to melt!
Enjoy these chocolately slices of heaven! 😉
